Push Bars and Bolts

Fire door push bars and panic bolts are designed to aid people exiting a building during a fire emergency. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that any exit from a building be easy to open without a key. So final exit fire doors need to not only secure the building from the outside but also be easily opened from the inside.

What is a fire door push bar?

A fire door push bar is a special door opening device that must be added to external fire doors. It works to mechanically pull the bolts of a door when pressed - opening the door to allow safe passage.

What is a panic bolt?

Panic bolts are used to lock and secure external fire doors without threatening the safe escape of people from the building in the event of a fire. The bolts safely secure the door from a security perspective, but will open when the push bar is activated from the inside to allow people to exit through the door.

How does a push bar work?

Push bars work by mechanically pulling the bolts in the door when pressed by someone. The pressure on the bar works to retract the bolts so that the door opens.

How does a panic bolt work? 

Panic bolts are spring loaded and held in place by either a ceramic or glass tube. In the event of an emergency where an external fire door is locked and people need to exit through the door in an emergency, they can press the fire door push bar to break the panic bolt tubing. This activates the string and allows the bolts to retract to open the door.

Does a fire door have to have a push bar and panic bolt?

A fire door must have a push bar if it can be locked from the outside. The push bar will allow people inside the building to open the door, even if it’s locked from the outside.
